World class hater, holy shit.

This is central to the failure of 2001. It’s a monumentally unimaginative movie: Kubrick, with his $750,000 centrifuge, and in love with gigantic hardware and control panels, is the Belasco of science fiction. (1969)

"I don't enjoy being here." --my wife, sitting next to me on the couch as I sing "Sei-ya" to the tune of OutKast's "Hey-Ya" in celebration of a Seiya Suzuki's 3-run homer.

I think part of the reason the Trump hardos want to stand on the Mall in a rainstorm is that like a third of that cohort has been struck by lightning at least once and dug it. "Actually cured my diabetes," they hoot at but not quite to each other as the Black Rifle Coffee Pavillion erupts in flames.

This is hilarious because a) it is clearly fiction--he didn't do any of that cowboy bullshit and b) this geek can't even be normal in his fantasy life.

If you were to watch a person’s life unfold in slow motion, you’d witness more love and complexity than you ever thought possible. If you watched it in fast motion it’d look like a freaky little guy was spraying out hair and fingernails

Guys I have to work on May 15 but someone please go in my stead and ASK THEM HOW THEY DO THIS have they just memorized a million paintings over many centuries or what's the fucking deal.

Chicago friends: I'll be speaking at the @artinstitutechi on May 15th at 2pm local, alongside photographer Kevin Sabitus and museum director Emily Fry. Super excited - it's free, but you need a ticket, so reserve now! www.artic.edu/events/6431/...

I absolutely believe that he--or a Trump-adjacent schmuck just as ridiculous--will do just this. Like, I would bet on this.

I've been looking at the same can of tomatoes for the entire time I've worked in restaurants and I think it is time we recognized this absolutely perfect label design.

this game proves that you need a real manager like Dave Roberts for Team USA because he has the kind of experience that allows him to know exactly when to put in Clayton Kershaw to make a loss even funnier

Man if Steve Albini were alive tonight he would be excitedly typing Italy-USA play-by-play to about 6 unrelated group chats and looking to buy an Italy jersey.

Not to be a bitch but after watching this video I have concluded this bird seems dumb as hell. Don’t dig around in your own torso, pull out one of your own feathers, drop it, and then look at ME like “What happened.” Like do we NEED a tall duck?

Officers responding to a planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park were struck by members of the crowd. The NYPD commissioner described the incident as "illegal" and said authorities are investigating.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

I refuse to accept anything other than the resignation and immediate retirement of all of these fucking corporate candy-ass Democratic cowards. They’ve lost the right to do anything but get out of the way and live in disgrace for the rest of their days.

Bears fans preparing to riot but the stadium puts Serengeti's "Dennehy" on the PA and they all calm down instantly and begin milling about harmlessly. "Keep the juice in your chops," they mutter to each other, absently if still somewhat warmly. "Keep the juice in your brats."

In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

Excuse me but how the fuck are we out of electricity.

CNN@cnn.com

Residents in mid-Atlantic states like Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who have spent the last few years plagued by high electricity bills just got some bad news: Relief is not on the way. There’s just not enough electricity to meet rising demand. https://cnn.it/4ja4CAR
